You do not need to worry about removing staples, paper clips, or even the file folders with the metal strip through them. Please make sure that there are no plastics, CDs, DVDs, x-rays, hard drives, 3 ring binders, binder clips, or anything else mixed in (paper ONLY). A shred truck will be onsite to shred documents and recycled at a Legal Shred facility. By recycling this shredded paper, Legal Shred saves thousands of trees each year. Also, by recycling the shredded paper you can rest assured that your material is fully destroyed, as it will go through a second destruction process.
